We don't need to do that just because of OFW. I think the approach of installing /boot/grub/ to that tiny filesystem is just wrong (yes, this is my fault ;-)). We could just install core.img there and put /boot/grub/ in the standard filesystem. > But installing all *.mo files to /boot/grub would be an overkill in many > cases.

We can only support one language anyway (the system-wide language, which is what grub-mkconfig will use when generating strings for grub.cfg). Also, if *.mo files contain plain text, compression would work well on them. They could be gzipped. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
